On the Gnome forum I got help about a problem with Evolution after updating the system. The advice there was to Report a bug against flatpak-xdg-utils suggesting two steps: 1. Update flatpak-xdg-utils to 1.0.6 2. Rebuild the F41 Flatpak runtime, which Evolution is using Quote: "the problem is WebKit is stuck checking the Flatpak portal version but this doesn’t actually reflect the version of flatpak-spawn that is available. Fedora has updated the portal to a new version, but failed to update flatpak-spawn. There’s no easy fix on WebKit’s side." This leads to my problem with Evolution, where "WebKit is passing --sandbox-a11y-own-name to an older version of flatpak-spawn that doesn’t support it. WebKit is doing a version check in FlatpakLauncher.cpp". And it would be very great if that could be fixed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Check versions: Evolution 3.54.1 (Flatpak) Fedora 41 Gnome 47 2.Start Evolution in Terminal via: flatpak run org.gnome.Evolution Actual Results: Evolution is not starting properly, no window appears. Console output: ~$ flatpak run org.gnome.Evolution (evolution-alarm-notify:64): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 16:13:03.524: gtk_widget_get_scale_factor: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed flatpak-spawn: Unknown option --sandbox-a11y-own-name=org.gnome.Evolution.Sandboxed.WebProcess-0620af4e-310a-48aa-9d85-9de4c5f1f116 Try "flatpak-spawn --help" for more information. ** (org.gnome.Evolution:57): ERROR **: 16:13:04.354: readPIDFromPeer: Unexpected short read from PID socket /app/bin/evolution: Line 29: 57 Trace/Breakpoint triggered (Core dump written) /app/bin/evolution.bin "$@" Expected Results: There is no error and the Evolution GUI comes up.

The same root cause triggers a crash for the Geary flatpak installed on Silverblue 41; I assume the same would happen for the flatpak installed in the regular workstation edition, but I haven't checked. Also I looked in a Fedora 40 flatpak installation and the same old version of flatpak-spawn is present (1.0.5-6.fc40), the one without the option, so it would seem that Geary or Evolution flatpaks would fail on f40 in the same way. (I guess that would warrant a bump in this bug's priority/severity now that there are 2 relatively major applications affected across multiple fedora versions/flavors)
I can confirm, that this bug also affects Fedora 40. I have run the exact same commands as the original poster, and I get the exact same error message, with only timestamps and the WebProcess hash value differing. So I would second the vote for a higher severity.
